Big pharma is a big lobby in the US and FDA doesn't seem to be totally independent as we assume it to be . Check this https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lilly-announces-withdrawal-xigrisr-following-recent-clinical FDA had approved this drug. However once the costs/ profits were recovered, it was rolled back Maybe @Bird Bird Bird can comment on this better.

This reminds me of the (recent) interest cut proposed by the Finance ministry for small savings accounts, which got nullified in a day, by a tweet.

Read between the lines. Ofcourse he didn't. But I wonder who did.

I have quoted a cabinet minister in a post. Do give the article a read. It is just 3 days old.

I'm not dilly dallying. The govt is. I am just trying to figure out the reason Read this https://www.business-standard.com/article/politics/rahul-gandhi-has-switched-to-full-time-lobbying-ravi-shankar-prasad-121040901235_1.html

https://theprint.in/economy/india-gives-in-to-us-pressure-fully-stops-import-of-iran-oil/233401/ First deem bharat as the vaccine center of the world (which it is) Export made in india Vax to other nations (good move IMO) Chest beat about atmanirbharta Allow all foreign made vax to open shops (via tech transfer in india ) that too within 2 months. Aap chronology samjhiye Ps- they should have allowed them in india from Jan itself.

Maybe amarican big pharma put all sorts of pressure on the govt after the approval of Sputnik vaccine.

Depends on the price and effectiveness.

Covax is made in bharat. Ps- doesn't make much sense. Why did phizer take a u turn in jan-feb then???

130 crores guinea pigs. They should not have relaxed bridging trials (norms)

Wasn't he sure of vaccine adequacy (in terms of numbers) few days back. Jaldbaazi main bridging trials hi khatam kar diya!!!

Mask peheno! Aap kar main ho, sarkar main nahi!!

Apparently russia is now working on a single shot Sputnik lite Vax. Wtf. V about to get obsolete.

Initially imports I wonder how the American big pharma lobby would react to this.

Even the sino Vax initially got praised. But now its efficacy against new variants is up for everyone to see. Ps- I think all these Vax (covax, sino and Sputnik work on the same principle of attenuated virus strains).
